The Queen Cutlery Company manufactured knives in Titusville Pennsylvania for 96 years. The company opened its only factory there in 1919 and commenced to make some of the best US crafted cutlery you will find. Unfortunately, the Titusville manufacturing plant closed down in 2018.
so i pick up a set of pre-1955 queen fixed blades...a three and four inch in a single scabbard...
nice, except the cracked ice has fallen on hard times...as in dissolved into splinters...
so i call queen this morning...and am told that "degeneration of cell material is a natural process, and, no, queen will not replace the scales"...
